Nancy Guthrie sheriff says he ‘understands’ why some suspecting Tommaso Cioni
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos addresses public speculation about Nancy Guthrie's son-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, as a suspect.
Pima County Sheriff, who is overseeing the search for Nancy Guthrie, has stated that he "understands" the reasons some people have suggested her son-in-law should be regarded as a suspect. However, he emphasized that he does not wish to label “a mark on somebody who could be completely innocent.”
Tommaso Cioni, who is married to Annie, the sister of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, was initially the focus of speculation regarding Nancy's disappearance, partly because he was the last person confirmed to have seen her before her disappearance on February 1.

'“I understand the pundits are out there. They’re gonna say, well, he’s the last one to see her alive. We understand that stuff. But, my goodness, you’re putting a mark on somebody who could be completely innocent. And more important than that, he’s family,” Nanos said.
“People out there can get pretty ugly and mean and nasty and not have the facts. I tell my journalists, you guys need to be a little more responsible… because that’s just really nasty stuff,” he continued.
